Former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ejisu Juaben Municipality Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh has served notice that the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) when it comes to power in 2021, will deliberately collapse Databank Financial Services, which is owned by Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta.
The firebrand politician, has accused the NPP government of deliberately collapsing uniBank owned by former Finance Minister Dr. Kwabena Duffour all because he is a member of the opposition NDC party.
The BoG on August 1, announced that it had merged Unibank and four other banks under a new name Consolidated Bank of Ghana (CBG), with government committing 450 million cedis to support these banks.
According to the governor of the Central Bank Ernest Addison, the merger was crucial because the five banks including Unibank were in critical financial distress and that it will “help ensure that the banking sector maintains a strong indigenous presence.”
But speaking on Abusua FM, Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh slammed Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta and the NPP government for dealing with Dr. Kwabena Duffour as an enemy as far as the collapsed of Unibank is concerned.
He indicated that the Finance Minister will have a taste of his own bitter medicine given to Dr. Kwame Duffuor when the NDC returns to power in 2021, where he [Ofori Atta] will see his Databank financial services going down.
“I’m sure Ken Ofori Atta’s Data Bank is still there, tell him that I say in 2021, we will collapse Databank, come what may in 2021, Databank will be collapsed. If a policeman is burnt on arresting you, he will ensure that out of the 99 laws, you fall guilty of one of them.
As we speak over 800 staff have been sacked over the collapse of the bank. When we talk of performance, Databank comes no where near uniBank, you talk of assets, etcetera, and yet someone who feels powerful in government has caused uniBank’s collapse. And he’s sitting there jubilating over the collapse of uniBank, he eats and laughs beating his belly. I tell you, [Ken Ofori Atta] we’ll also collapse your Databank when we come to power.”

People like yamoah ponkoh are hugely part of the reasons why this country is in the state we find it. How despicable and irresponsible is this? Really? Ghana mpaninfuo bi? Ooh we have a long way to go. It’s pathetic to say the least. I pray that these bad minds, selfish greedy people will never have the chance of leadership in this country. They are the reason trump insults us and even nigerians look down their noses at us
and do you think it is only NPP followers that have their money at Databank right? If I were your son I would have instantly disowned you for making such a statement because you are just unveiling to the whole world that deep down in your brain there is a big hole where common sense is a scarce commodity. Please try as much as possible to seek wisdom because you are seriously lacking it.
I BELIEVE GHANAIANS WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE BECAUSE ITS THE HALLMARKS OF THE NDC. WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE NDC. DIDN'T RAWLINGS AND HIS ***barred word*** BROTHERS COLLAPSED VIRTUALLY ALL AKAN BUSINESSES WHEN THE NDC WAS IN POWER? LIKE MAHAMA SAID,GHANAIANS HAVE A SHORT MEMORY.I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISE IF MAHAMA IS VOTED TO POWER AGAIN. SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW WE GHANAIANS REASON.IF WE REASON THOUGHTFULLY, NDC IS NOT A PARTY TO BE GIVEN THE MANTLE TO GOVERN AT ALL.EVILLLL CRACKERS.
Infantile and very disgraceful comment.. God will punish u and u will stay in opposition forever
MR.PONKO PAAAA,VERY JUVENAL AND IRRESPONSIBLE
PLEASE POLITICS IS NOT LIKE EATING IN A LOCAL CHOP BAR IN KUMASIOOO.PLEASE WE ARE SERIOUS PEOPLE.WE WANT TO DEVELOP.WHEN VISIT YOUR USUAL CHOP BARS YOU CAN TALK LIKE THAT.
I’m sorry 😐 no such decision to collapse any Bank has Ben made in any meeting of any NDC Presidential Candidate. That’s not the policy of NDC and that will not be our policy. The next NDC government will promote ALL businesses to excel in an environment of cordiality as it has been of the best intentions of All our aspiring Presidential Candidates. Please take this as an official statement from NDC hierarchy. Let all well meaning Ghanaians ignore the statements allegedly made y Yamoah Ponkoh. No one sent him to speak on our behalf and there’s no way we will send him. NDC is coming back to power with the sole aim of building a better economy for ALL Ghanaians so that posterity will be proud of a great Nation. Please rest assured that the next NDC government will be a government of the people, for the people, and with the people. No arbitrary decisions will be made. Thank you fellow Ghanaians. On belalf of ALL NDC Presidential Aspirants.
